[keycloak-user] Browser not maintaining session for keycloak users

[keycloak demo]

Thanks Marek for the update,

I understand that https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5179   mentions
the issue pertaining to message: "You are already logged in". But will the
second issue that I reported also be fixed in this bug?

*Issue summary:*  When a user logs in he is shown the message: "You may
close this browser window and go back to your console application.". Now if
I open a new tab, the user should be logged in right? But he is shown the
login form again.

This issue was not coming in Keycloak 3.4.3 and session was being
maintained by browser. But I found this issue on 4.1.0 and also on 4.3.0.
In the 4.x version I see a cookie *KC_RESTART* cookie instead of
*KC_SESSION* cookie in cookies section which might be the reason.

*Here's the post containing complete details of above issue with
screenshots:*
